Does anyone know what comes with the full front brake set from the shop? Mainly due to costs, but there is a set of pads on evilbay for half the price....... :?

I haven't bought them so I don't know, but it's generally 4 pads and the 2 markers that squeal when the pads wear down (so you know when to change them). I also haven't used a set from ebay but the difference in price could reflect the quality of the pads.

Half the price is less than £20 difference, or less than a fifth of a penny per mile throughout the life of the pads (assuming they only manage 10,000 miles) - a very small price for the lives of you and your family 8)
